Yes, it is understandable that people who are subject to being kicked off the bus at random times through no fault of their own, or who sometimes find that the bus slows to 8 miles per hour and makes them late for work, or who are tired of arguing with the bus driver who refuses to take them to the liquor store, the casino, or the titty bar, may aspire to own a car, even a crappy one.

Any more tortured metaphors in store for us?
